Does it have the Z tape installed in front of the control surfaces as
per the Grob/Lindner optional service letter SL-12? If not, you might
find the effectiveness will be enhanced if you do install it. It works
wonders for the Twin Astir rudder... It is certainly easy and cheap
enough to try, and it is factory approved as well.....

I don't recall seeing any zigzag strip in front of the rudder hinge. I'll
look next time I'm at the club and mention this where it may do some good
if it is not turbulated.

Thanks for the tip.
